Megadeth - Of Mice And Men (Song)
Of Mice And Men is a song by Megadeth which appears on their record The System Has Failed. The track opens up with Mustaine singing by himself with some kind of effect on his vocals which is an interesting and unconventional opening, at least by my standards for Megadeth, …
Not Just You (Single)- Cody Simpson
This song just came out as a single on itunes and it is currently free! When I saw this I freaked out, this has always been one of my favorite songs of Cody’s. I never actually heard it as a studio version before this song. I have only heard …
Weezer - Memories (Song)
Memories is a song by Weezer which appears on their album Hurley. Oddly, the song opens up with an abstract sounding intro before going into the rest of the track which carries the very characteristic Weezer power pop sound. The intro personally seemed a bit disjointed from the rest …

Peeping Tom - Sucker (song)
“Sucker” is a Peeping Tom off of their album “Peeping Tom”. Peeping Tom is just one of the many associated acts and bands that Mike Patton either formed or contributes to. What made me want to review this particular song “Sucker” is that it quite oddly features the beautiful …
Serj Tankian - Elect The Dead (Song)
Elect The Dead is the title track of Serj Tankian’s first solo album apart from System Of A Down. The track starts off with a moderately paced piano playing some simple chords which creates a sound which makes me believe that the song is certainly building to something. Tankian …

Kill at Will: Ice Cube CD
Wow what can I say this Kill at Will album by Ice Cube was very violent! He was very pissed, and he spoke his mind on this album. Kill at Will has very explicit lyrics, and he is very violent on the album. This is a great album to …
Get right of Jennifer Lopez’s Music Video
Why Jennifer Lopez has gone in producing this video with only her as the star, I do not know. What I can tell, is that she could have made more sales with this awesome track (as it really has some interesting new beats!) if she would have featured other …
Alicia keys - if I ain’t got you

Jay-Z
“Hard Knock Life”
Volume 2… Hard Knock Life
Roc-A-Fella Records
I’m sorry but Jay-Z really needs to be banished for this one. “Hard Knock Life (Ghetto Anthem)” is the second single and music video from his third album “Volume 2… Hard Knock Life”, following “Can I Get A…”. I’ve got two main …
Limewire Music Downloader Free Edition
I had used Bearshare for years in downloading music but it seemed that they only have a few selections and seeders (people who share and upload) so my husband told me to switch to Limewire and just get the free version as it is still better then Bearshare.
When I …
The Doors - L.A. Woman
Overview - L.A. Woman, The Door’s final album while Jim Morrison was alive, is an album that has a lot of blues influence to it, which I wasn’t a huge fan of, but also some of the best songs The Doors have ever put out. Morrison’s death truly is …
Nelly Furtado singer

Opera Arias by Yu Qiang Dai on CD
This tenor is off the chart! I saw Yu Qiang Dai perform with the Los Angeles Opera in Puccini’s opera Turandot and immediately after I purchased his first CD. He has a powerful, rich voice and is an equal to a younger Pavarotti. This Chinese-born tenor sang Nessun Dorma …
Kyuss - Beginning of what’s about to happen HWY 74 (song)
“Beginning of what’s about to happen HWY 74″ is the opening track on the debut album “Wretch” by the band Kyuss. This is very well my favorite song on “Wretch”. This song being that it is off their first album, features all the original members of the band. That …
Soundgarden: Badmotorfinger
Here comes the judge! That’s right, this is the album that proved to the world Soundgarden was a legitimate threat to any rock Gods previous. Badmotorfinger, Soundgarden’s forth album, is where it really starts to get good.

The Beatles - Martha My Dear (Song)

Megadeth - This Was My Life (Song)
This Was My Life is a song by Megadeth which appears on their record Countdown To Extinction. This Was My Life gradually fades in before leading into a pretty aggressive and crunchy riff coming from Mustaine along with a pretty heavy bass line as well. Mustaine comes in with …

Green Day - Insomniac
Overview —“ Insomniac, Green Day’s fourth effort, continues with the sound that they developed on Dookie as they try to become better and better with songwriting. If I had to give a general pattern for this album, I’d say it gets progressively better as it goes along with some …
Metallica - Until It Sleeps (Music Video)
Overview —“ Until It Sleeps, the first music video released by Metallica for their album Load, is significantly different from any of the previous music videos that they had released up to this point in their career. In fact, just about everything about not only the video but also …
Bob Dylan - Hurricane (Song)
Hurricane is a song by Bob Dylan which appears on his record Desire. One thing I should point out about Hurricane as it’s quite a long track, around eight and a half minutes, so if you aren’t really a fan of longer songs, this track may not be that …
The Flaming Lips - Watching The Planets (Song)
Watching The Planets is a song by The Flaming Lips which appears on their album Embryonic. The track opens up with a fairly confusing tone comprised of an odd mix of instrumentation including keyboards, synthesizers, and drums. Overall, these instruments come together to create a sound which seems as …
Boyzone : No Matter What
Boybands have been really a hit about 6 to 10 years ago, there was Backstreet boys of US, Boyzone of Ireland and some other boybands that made it big in the charts all over the world. The more they sing and compose mushy songs, and the more they smile …
Speak Now album by Taylor Swift
Taylor Swift’s CD called Speak Now is of the country genre but is versatile and integrated into the pop genre too. It is available at any store that sells music, but I would recommend going to Target to pick up a Deluxe Edition for $14.99. Taylor Swift is a …
Maxwell - Maxwell’s Urban Hang Suite (album)

“Autobiography” Album by Ashlee Simpson
There always seems to be a lot of pressure for the siblings of famous singers and actresses to follow in the footsteps of their celebrity relatives. I remember when there was a period of time where Jessica Simpson was majorly popular and everybody wanted to know when her sister, …
Metallica - Creeping Death (Song)
Creeping Death, another one of Metallica’s more well-known songs, due to the fact that it was the opening song to so many of Metallica’s live concerts in the past few years, has to be one of my favorite Metallica songs on any of their albums and certainly on Ride …

“Bad Brains” by Bad Brains LP (1982)
It was a common occurrence in the ’80s where a punk band’s first release is probably their best, no matter how many records they release afterwords or how long they stay together. They may release a lot of amazing records, but nothing can top their first. This holds true …
Like a surgeon by Weird Al Yankovick
Like a surgeon by Weird Al Yankovick is a parody of like a virgin by Madonna. Like a surgeon is so devilishly funny I can’t believe weird al wrote it. It’s all about a guy who just got through med school and became a surgeon. I went …

Bizzy Bone CD
Bizzy Bone’s album The Gift is a very deep and emotional. This CD shows Bizzy Bone’s emotional side. I think that this album is a work of art in my view. The beats and production was just great on the album. Bizzy Bone displays his rap talent by showing …
Stuck with Each Other by Shontelle featuring Akon

Ashanti
I started listening to Ashanti during the early 2003 period, I think. And I thought that she has a pretty good voice. During that time, the existence of Rihanna in the music industry wasn’t born yet and Ashanti was one of the young talents out there, besides the …
